Crane Accidents

Crane Injury Information

When it comes to construction site accidents, a large number of victims suffer from crane accidents that induce serious injuries or even lethal outcomes. The official statistics indicate that hundreds of crane accidents happen on a year to year basis. The construction industry in whole uses over 100 000 cranes all over the country and 100 000 more in maritime industry. Over 200 000 workers operate the cranes, but what is more important – a huge percentage of these workers do not have proper certification. This is one of the main reasons why the Occupational Health & Safety Administration (OSHA) initialized stricter rules and regulations concerning crane operations. The majority of crane accidents take place due to one of the following reasons:

– The crane hits the power line – Counter weight causes a crush – Improper crane maintenance led to the crush – The load was accidentally dropped – The crane operator was not properly instructed or did not receive any proper training and so on

If you or your loved ones were in a crane accident and received severe injuries or perhaps your family member was killed, it is incredibly important to get in touch with a qualified law firm that has ample experience in this type of cases. After all, the accident may have been caused due to the improper actions of the employer, of the crane manufacturer or due to a number of other reasons. One way or the other, it is crucial that you receive a proper compensation for any injuries or damages you have suffered from during the crane accident.

If you became a victim of a crane accident trying to seek justice and wish to find people responsible for the accident, do not hesitate to get in touch with a professional lawyer at the earliest opportunity. Only a specialist will be able to determine what caused the accident in the first place and to present all the evidence in the court of law, without letting the judge to dismiss the case.
